算子代数的斜积

引入了算子代数的一种新运算"斜积",证明了在这个新定义的斜积运算下算子代数的自反性保持不变.研究发现,斜积运算对应的子空间格是拓扑意义下的格的直积关系.这个新发现的重要意义在于由此可从已知的自反子空间格生成更多更复杂的新自反格,从而得到新的自反代数.在此基础上,本文对KS-代数保持性等其他非自伴代数类的性质也作了相应研究.     

冯·诺依曼代数交叉积的一点注记

设α是可数离散群G和H的半直积G■_σH在冯·诺依曼代数M上的作用,则β_h=α_((e,h))AdU_h定义了群H在冯·诺依曼代数交叉积M■_αG上的作用β.本文证明了交叉积冯·诺依曼代数M■_α(G■_σH)与(M■_αG)■_βH是*-同构的,因此在一定条件下,冯·诺依曼代数的交叉积满足结合律.     

Graph von Neumann Algebras

In this paper, we will define a graph von Neumann algebra over a fixed von Neumann algebra M, where G is a countable directed graph, by a crossed product algebra = M × _α , where is the graph groupoid of G and α is the graph-representation. After defining a certain conditional expectation from onto its M-diagonal subalgebra we can see that this crossed product algebra is *-isomorphic to an amalgamated free product where = vN(M × _α where is the subset of consisting of all reduced words in {e, e ^–1} and M × _α is a W ^*-subalgebra of as a new graph von Neumann algebra induced by a graph G _e . Also, we will show that, as a Banach space, a graph von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to a Banach space ⊕ where is a certain subset of the set E(G)* of all words in the edge set E(G) of G. The author really appreciates to Prof F. Radulescu and Prof P. Jorgensen for the valuable discussion and kind advice. Also, he appreciates all supports from St. Ambrose Univ.. In particular, he thanks to Prof T. Anderson and Prof V. Vega for the useful conversations and suggestions.     

On classifying monotone complete algebras of operators

We give a classification of “small” monotone complete C ^*-algebras by order properties. We construct a corresponding semigroup. This classification filters out von Neumann algebras; they are mapped to the zero of the classifying semigroup. We show that there are 2 ^c distinct equivalence classes (where c is the cardinality of the continuum). This remains true when the classification is restricted to special classes of monotone complete C ^*-algebras e.g. factors, injective factors, injective operator systems and commutative algebras which are subalgebras of ℓ^∞. Some examples and applications are given.      

The Proof of Inseparable Prime AW^＊—Algebras Being Primitive C^＊—Algebras

The relation between the inseparable prime C^*-algebras and primitive C^*-algebras is studied,and we prove that prime AW^*-algebras are all primitive C^*-algebras.     

关于核型$C^{*}$代数单调积的注记

Given two nuclear C^＊-algebras A1 and A2 with states φ1 and φ2, we show that the monotone product C^＊-algebra A1 △→ A2 is still nuclear. Furthermore, if both the states φ1 and φ2 are faithful, then the monotone product ,A1 △→ A2 is nuclear if and only if the C^＊-algebras ,A1 and A2 both are nuclear.     

K-Theory of Stable Generalized Operator Algebras

It is proved that algebraic and topological K-functors are isomorphic on the category of stable generalized operator algebras which are K _i -regular for all i > 0.     

The Algebraic K-Theory of Operator Algebras

We the study the algebraic K-theory of C *-algebras, forgetting the topology. The main results include a proof that commutative C*-algebras are K-regular in all degrees (that is, all theirN ^T K _iand extensions of the Fischer-Prasolov Theorem comparing algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients.

Dilations,Product Systems,and Weak Dilations

We generalize Bhat's construction of product systems of Hilbert spaces from E₀-semigroups on B(H) for some Hilbert space H to the construction of product systems of Hilbert modules from E₀-semigroups on B^a(E) for some Hilbert module E. As a byproduct we find the representation theory for B^a(E) if E has a unit vector. We establish a necessary and sufficient criterion for the conditional expectation generated by the unit vector to define a weak dilation of a CP-semigroup in the sense of [1]. Finally, we also show that white noises on general von Neumann algebras in the sense of [2] can be extended to white noises on a Hilbert module.     

The Bass Conjecture and Group von Neumann Algebras

The precise relationship between the Bass conjecture for the Hattori–Stallings trace for projective ZG-modules and the map from reduced K-theory of ZG to reduced K-theory of the von Neumann algebra, NG, of G, of G is determined. As a consequence it is shown this map is zero for all groups G. It is also shown that the map induced on K-theory from the inclusion of NG to the ring of closed, densely defined operators affiliated to NG is an isomorphism. Together with the above result, this gives some positive evidence for the validity of the Division Ring Conjecture for torsion free groups.     

Finite group actions on AF algebras obtained by folding the interval

For any finite groupG we construct examples of an AF algebraA and an action byG onA such that the fixed point algebra is not AF. The construction ofA is done by successive foldings and cuttings of the interval in a way originally suggested by Blackadar and, in a different context, by Connes in his talk in Oslo in 1978.     

CertainC*-algebras with real rank zero and their corona and multiplier algebras: II

We first determine the homotopy classes of nontrivial projections in a purely infinite simpleC*-algebraA, in the associated multiplier algebraM(A) and the corona algebraM A/A in terms ofK _*(A). Then we describe the generalized Fredholm indices as the group of homotopy classes of non-trivial projections ofA; consequently, we determine theK _*-groups of all hereditaryC*-subalgebras of certain corona algebras. Secondly, we consider a group structure of *-isomorphism classes of hereditaryC*-subalgebras of purely infinite simpleC*-algebras. In addition, we prove that ifA is aC*-algebra of real rank zero, then each unitary ofA, in caseA it unital, each unitary ofM(A) and ofM(A)/A, in caseA is nonunital but -unital, can be factored into a product of a unitary homotopic to the identity and a unitary matrix whose entries are all partial isometries (with respect to a decomposition of the identity).Partially supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.     

Operator space tensor products of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-algebras

For C*-algebras A and B, the identity map from into A _λ B is shown to be injective. Next, we deduce that the center of the completion of the tensor product A⊗B of two C*-algebras A and B with centers Z(A) and Z(B) under operator space projective norm is equal to . A characterization of isometric automorphisms of and A _h B is also obtained. Dedicated to Ajit Iqbal Singh on her 65th birthday.     

Classification of extensions of classifiable -algebras

For a certain class of extensions of C^*-algebras in which B and A belong to classifiable classes of C^*-algebras, we show that the functor which sends to its associated six term exact sequence in K-theory and the positive cones of K₀(B) and K₀(A) is a classification functor. We give two independent applications addressing the classification of a class of C^*-algebras arising from substitutional shift spaces on one hand and of graph algebras on the other. The former application leads to the answer of a question of Carlsen and the first named author concerning the completeness of stabilized Matsumoto algebras as an invariant of flow equivalence. The latter leads to the first classification result for nonsimple graph C^*-algebras.     

素环上强保持2-Jordan乘积的映射

对于给定的正整数k≥1,环R上的元x,y的k-Jordan乘积定义为{x,y}_k={{x,y}_(k-1),y}_1,其中{x,y}_0=x,{x,y}_1=xy+yx.假设R是包含有单位元与一非平凡幂等元的素环.本文证明了R上的满射f满足{f(x),f(y)}2={x,y}_2对所有x,y∈R成立当且仅当存在λ∈l(R的可扩展中心)且λ~3=1,使得下列之一成立:(1)若R的特征不为2,则f(x)=λx对所有x∈R成立;(2)若R的特征为2,则f(x)=λx+μ(x)对所有x∈R成立,其中μ:R→l是一个映射.作为应用,得到了因子von Neumann代数上保持上述性质映射的结构.     

The pressure in operator algebras

We introduce two notions of the pressure in operator algebras, one is the pressure Pα（π, T） for an automorphism α of a unital exact C^＊-algebra A at a self-adjoint element T in A with respect to a faithful unital ＊-representation π the other is the pressure Pτ,α（T） for an automorphism α of a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra M at a self-adjoint element T in M with respect to a faithful normal α-invariant state τ. We give some properties of the pressure, show that it is a conjugate invaxiant, and also prove that the pressure of the implementing inner automorphism of a crossed product A×α Z at a self-adjoint operator T in A equals that of α at T.
